Chapter 697 Test drive?
"I rarely drink..."
Faced with Dalula's words, Barron said:
"But the invitation from a beautiful woman should not be refused, but In this case, I have a good place.”
With so many security guards around Barron at all times, it is not suitable for him to go to a nightclub or a relatively high-end private club at this time.
Of course, he was not prepared to take Dalula directly to his house, so under his orders, the convoy drove directly to Neverland on the outskirts of London.
Here, Barron can still completely relax.
Barron still has some patience with Dalula Riley.
In his previous life, the reason why Musk was able to establish a relationship with Dalula in a short period of time after he ended his previous marriage and met her was because of her beauty and celebrity status. In addition to her rare knowledge among women—Dalula later received a doctorate in quantum physics—a very important point is that she is relatively clean.
Dalula Riley has always refused sex before marriage, so among female celebrities, she is considered very "clean".
This is probably the reason why she has such a beautiful appearance and appears in very few Hollywood movie series, but they are all in small roles.
Of course, the principles that we adhere to many times may also be because we have not yet met someone who can make us give up our principles...
In the villa in Neverland, Barron and Da Lula and the two were feeling the breeze blowing from the Thames River on the balcony and admiring the night view.
They didn't drink too much, they only opened one bottle of red wine in total.
However, it can be seen that Dalula is already slightly drunk.
I don’t know where to start, but Barron has already embraced her in his arms, and they are immersed in bursts of passionate kisses from time to time...
And Barron is also in this process, like a professional Maintenance technicians generally have inspected the quality of the lights, as well as the curves and various parts of the entire sports car. components...
But when he was about to start the sports car, he was rejected by Dalula...
"I, I think we are going too fast, Your Highness the Duke..."
“I told you, just call me Barron.”
At this time, Barron was not in a hurry to test drive this graceful supercar. He very gentlemanly stopped the maintenance and inspection process...
After all, for him now, compared to completing the It is more interesting to test drive a new car and experience the whole process.
Even if he knows that, even if Dalula refuses at this time, it is not difficult for him to use some means to get the other party.
But, if it’s always like this, what’s the fun in it?
When Barron finally left the villa and left Dalula to live in it, Dalula was lying in the bathtub, surrounded by warmth. At this time, the emotions in her heart were still very complicated. Yes, she was very grateful to His Highness the Duke for respecting her, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed...
“At present, in terms of variety shows, our ITV has always been ahead of the BBC and Sky TV. In particular, The Voice of England, launched this year, has become even more popular and has become another phenomenal variety show... …”
In SEM Group’s meetings, it was rare for Barron and Bonnie, a former couple, to attend together.
In fact, Bonnie is now not only the majority shareholder of SEM Group, but also responsible for the production and promotion of its entertainment programs.
Bonnie's work has not been questioned in any way, and this is because most of the top variety shows currently owned by ITV were originally planned and produced by Bonnie.
This also allows ITV to maintain an absolute advantage over the BBC and Sky TV in terms of variety shows.
In terms of variety shows this year, ITV’s biggest gain is the new program that has just been produced and broadcast - "The Voice of England", which is still planned by Bonnie (in fact, it originated from Paris The main idea provided by Ren to Bonnie), once launched, it became a huge hit.
During the broadcast, "The Voice of England" created multiple ratings records. It can be said that its novel competition methods, especially the blind selection of tutors, which mainly rely on the voice to compete, made The audience's eyes lit up and they were immersed in it.
In addition to creating a ratings myth in the UK, "The Voice of Britain" has also been actively introduced by many TV stations including Australia, North America and Europe. Currently, more than 3 TV stations have purchased "The Voice of Britain" "The Voice" and hope to replicate this phenomenal variety show locally.
Speaking of Sky TV, after Murdoch had to agree to "share" the Premier League broadcasting rights with Barron's SEM Group due to the "eavesdropping scandal" at that time, their competitiveness gradually changed. Among the weak.
After all, before this, relying on the broadcast rights of the Premier League, Sky TV could be said to be dominant in the field of sports. Neither the BBC nor ITV could compete with it. They also once had the largest number of pay TV channel users in the UK.
But now it is completely different. ITV itself has an advantage over the BBC and Sky TV in terms of entertainment programs. In terms of sports channels, it has also obtained the rights to "share" the Premier League broadcasting rights with Sky TV, thus gradually catching up. There is even a tendency to catch up from behind.
Many people analyze that it is very likely that in the next competition for Premier League broadcasting rights, Sky TV will only be able to get a smaller number of game broadcasts, and thus be rubbed on the ground by ITV...
This can be seen from the increasingly low stock price of Sky TV in the past two years. I am afraid that in the future competition for financial resources, they will not be able to compete with ITV, which has strong support.
As for news and information, BBC and ITV each have their own advantages...
It can be said that the current "big three" of British television are still the BBC, ITV and Sky TV, but the ranking of the strength of these three giants is very different from two or three years ago.
“It is said that News Corporation is preparing to complete the acquisition of Sky TV. Once this transaction is completed, it is not impossible that the other party will invest more funds to help Sky TV revive its success.”
News Corporation was only the major shareholder of Sky TV before this - News Corporation previously owned approximately 39.1% of Sky TV's shares.
They have long hoped to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of Sky TV. However, due to the "eavesdropping scandal", News Corporation had to announce the suspension of its wholly-owned acquisition of Sky TV.
Because they knew that under the circumstances at that time, even if they still insisted on the acquisition, they would probably not get approval from the British side and could only give up temporarily.
But now Sky TV is facing difficulties, and as the impact of the "Eavesdropping Gate" incident has been eliminated, News Corporation has the idea of fully acquiring Sky TV, hoping to buy Sky TV at a relatively low price and help it recover. To the glory of the past...
